What could be more beautiful for a mosaicista<\/em>\u00a0in the summer than working on a mosaic made of blues and greens that form a foaming sea and wild waves with beautiful white spray?<\/p>\n

I am helping Emilie Baudrais again, in her studio Babylon Mosaic<\/em>, this time with her commission\u00a0of 12 mosaics for a church in Sardinia. My first theme from the Old Testament: Moses, who splits the sea, to bring the Israelites out of the hands of the Egyptians.<\/p>\n

All the designs for the mosaics were made by Emilie.\u00a0As\u00a0they are floor mosaics but we are working in direct technique, it requires\u00a0high precision. We cut\u00a0the pre-divided cubes and place them so that we form a flat surface that doesn’t have to be ground\u00a0afterwards.<\/p>\n

I love to work on this mosaic. But after all the hours in the studio I also longed for jumping into real waves.\u00a0\u00a0So I spent some days on the Atlantic, which is about an hour from here.<\/p>\n

It was so great\u00a0to wash my skin from all the\u00a0cement and dust\u00a0from the last months and gather\u00a0some energy for the next projects to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
